Pocket car

Stuck in a jam? No worries. Pick up your car, stuff it in your pocket and walk on foot! 3-wheeled mini car spotted in Tianjin, China. It seats four teletubbies. hehe :)

A little googling reveals that it’s a super economical mini car (consumes about 2.8L per 100km), one of several taking to the roads in China and is probably made by Fulu? I love it! I want one! Spotted another similar looking vehicle but that was probably a motorcycle with walls. :P

BTW, Beijing was truly a pleasant surprise. I did not expect to enjoy my time there as much as I did.

Been a while since I last updated my blog. Will try and share more photos and bits of stories from my travels now n then!

Hijau, BDC: tell me what’s wrong with this bill?

Hijau, BDC (Kuching) official receipt. There’s something wrong here…8% of RM2 is RM0.2??

We do like to hang out at Hijau (yummy chicken wings!) but drinks are really expensive.

Mobile phones for field work?

A proper camera is of course preferable. But when you haven’t one with you, a modern mobile phone works too! All of today’s modern smartphones are capable of taking decent photos, you just need a really steady hand! :)

Mulu chalet

I’d like to stay a night in one of these… they’re fairly new. RM230-RM280 per night, sleeps a maximum of 3 persons. Air conditioned. But the bathrooms are built for peeping toms! They’ve got glass walls and wooden blinds with wide gaps!


See the bathrooms on the side with the wooden blinds? I noticed people take baths in the dark with the lights switched off. LOL
